     The factoring agreement allows the Company to borrow up to $15,000,000,
limited by certain percentages of outstanding accounts receivable and finished
goods inventory owned by the Company. The President has provided a $1,000,000
personal guarantee in connection with the factoring arrangement.

6. Stock repurchase and related party transactions:

     On October 21, 1998, the Company purchased and retired 1,050,426 shares of
its outstanding common stock for $4 per share in connection with a self tender
offer. Of those shares, 436,563 were purchased from officers and directors. The
total cost of the transaction to the Company was approximately $4.3 million.
Cash and cash equivalents, together with proceeds from borrowings under the new
factoring agreement, were used to purchase the tendered shares. The Company's
president subsequently purchased 331,748 shares from its chairman and a director
at the $4 per share tender price on November 19, 1998.

         The Company rents a 30,000 square foot warehouse and office building
from Kuma Sport, Inc., which is 40% owned by a director of Nitches. The Company
pays rent of $15,000, on a month-to-month basis, which management believes is
consistent with the fair market value of the facility. Nitches is also
purchasing labor and administrative services from Kuma Sport on a monthly basis,
as needed, at fair market rates. The Company purchased labor and administrative
services from Kuma Sport, Inc. for approximately $168,000 in the second quarter
of fiscal 1999.

7. Operating segments:

         The Company's products comprise a single operating segment. Sales are
made to a variety of customers throughout the United States. Sales to three
separate customers accounted for 25.5%, 18.1%, and 12.6%, respectively, of the
Company's net sales in the quarter ended February 28, 1999. These same customers
accounted for 18.2%, 16.3%, and 14.1%, respectively, of the Company's trade
receivable balance at February 28, 1999.

8. Contingency

     Management has initiated a program to prepare the Company's computer
systems and applications for the year 2000. The Company has incurred internal
staff costs and other expenses related to infrastructure and facilities
enhancements necessary to prepare the systems for the year 2000. Certain
internal applications have already been modified and testing and conversion of
system applications has been completed. The Company is also continuing to assess
its vendors, customers and other third parties as to their year 2000 compliance.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1999 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28,
1998.

       Net sales for the six months ended February 28, 1999 increased
approximately $.5 million (3.2%) as compared to the six months ended February
28, 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to the Company's increase in
private label sales in the sleepwear product line in the quarter ending November
30,1998 which accounted for over fifty percent of the sales for the six months
to its major customers.

       Gross margins increased from 24.3% for the six months ended February 28,
1998 to 25.2% for the current six month period. The increase was the result of
the Company's product mix shifting to higher gross margin product such as
Western Wear in the quarter ending February 28, 1999. The Company's product mix
constantly changes to reflect customer mix, fashion trends and changing seasons.
Consequently, gross margins are likely to vary on a quarter-to-quarter basis and
in comparison to gross margins generated in the same period of prior fiscal
years.

       Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in dollar amount
from $4.5 million for the first six months of last year to $3.4 million for the
first six months of fiscal 1999, and decreased as a percent of net sales from
29.4% last year to 21.4% for the current period. The decrease in dollar amount
and decrease as a percent of net sales is a result of the Company's continued
efforts to decrease overhead.

THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY
28, 1998.

       Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 decreased approximately
$.5 million (8.9%) compared to the net sales for the same quarter last year.
Overall, sales decreased in the current quarter due to the shift of spring
private label sleepwear sales into March and April, closer to the actual retail
selling time of the product.

       Gross margins increased from 21.0% for the three months ended February
28, 1998 to 26.9% for the current quarter. The increase is the result of the
Company's product mix shifting to higher gross margin product such as Western
Wear. The Company's product mix constantly changes to reflect customer mix,
fashion trends and changing seasons. Consequently, gross margins are likely to
vary on a quarter-to-quarter basis and in comparison to gross margins generated
in the same period of prior fiscal years.

       Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in dollar amount
from $2.1 million for the second quarter of last year to $1.4 million for the
second quarter of fiscal 1999, and decreased as a percent of net sales from
34.5% last year to 26.5% for the current quarter. The decrease in dollar amount
is a result of the Company's continued efforts to decrease overhead.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       The Company's working capital of $5.5 million at February 28,1999
decreased from the August 31, 1998 level of $9.4 million, while the Company's
current ratio decreased from 3.92:1 at August 31, 1998 to 2.75:1 at February 28,
1999. The principal reason for the decrease in working capital and in current
ratio was the Company's stock repurchases through its tender offer of
approximately $4.3 million which was completed in November 1998.

           Effective October 1, 1998, the Company entered into new agreements
with Congress Talcott Corporation West ("Congress"), including a Discount
Factoring Agreement, Addendum to Discount Factoring Agreement, Trade Financing
Agreement, Inventory Security Agreement, Financial Covenant Agreement and
Agreement to Issue Letter of Credit Guaranties (collectively, the "Discount
Factoring Agreement"). The Company sells substantially all of its trade
receivables to Congress on a pre-approved, non-recourse basis. The Company
attempts to make the recourse shipments on a COD 


                                       8

<PAGE>   9

basis or ensure that the customers' payments are backed by a commercial or
standby letter of credit issued by the customer's bank. The amount of the
Company's receivables which were recourse and were not made on a COD basis or
supported by commercial or standby letters of credit at February 28, 1999 was
approximately $495,000 of which approximately $55,000 has been collected through
March 19,1999.

       Payment for nonrecourse factored receivables is made at the time
customers make payment to Congress or, if a customer is financially unable to
make payment, within approximately 180 days of the invoice due date. Under the
Discount Factoring Agreement, the Company can request advances in anticipation
of customer collections at Congress' prime rate (currently 7.75%) less one-half
percent, and open letters of credit through Congress. The amount of borrowings
by the Company, including a portion of outstanding letters of credit, are
limited to certain percentages of outstanding accounts receivable and finished
goods inventory owned by the Company. Borrowings are collateralized by all of
the assets of the Company as well as a $1 million guaranty of the Company's
president, Mr. Wyandt. At February 28, 1999, the Company had outstanding letters
of credit of approximately $2.4 million for the purchase of finished goods which
had been opened through the financial institution. Under the Discount Factoring
Agreement, the Company is required to maintain $5 million of net worth and $5
million of working capital. The Discount Factoring Agreement can be terminated
by Congress on 60-days prior written notice.

       On November 18, 1998, the Company purchased and retired 1,050,426 shares
of its outstanding common stock for $4 per share in connection with a self
tender offer. The total cost of the transaction was approximately $4.3 million.
The funds for the transaction came from cash and cash equivalents of the Company
in addition to borrowings of approximately $3 million under the Discount
Factoring Agreement. Borrowings under the Discount Factoring Agreement are
expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations over the next 18 months.
The Company has an additional borrowing capacity of $12,000,000, limited by
certain percentages of outstanding accounts receivable and finished goods
inventory owned by the Company, under the Discount Factoring Agreement, which
management believes is adequate to meet working capital needs.

INVENTORY

       In its ordinary course of operations, the Company generally makes some
sales below its normal selling prices or below cost. Based on prior experience,
management believes this will be true for some inventory held or acquired after
February 28,1999. The amount of such sales depends on several factors, including
general economic conditions, market conditions within the apparel industry, the
desirability of the styles held in inventory and competitive pressures from
other garment suppliers.

       The Company's inventory increased from $5.3 million at August 31, 1998 to
$6.4 million at February 28, 1999. The Company has established an inventory
markdown reserve as of February 28, 1999, which management believes will be
sufficient for current inventory that is expected to be sold below cost in the
future. There can be no assurance that the Company will realize its expected
selling prices, or that the inventory markdown reserve will be adequate, for
items in inventory as of February 28, 1999 for which customer sales orders have
not yet been received.

BACKLOG

       At February 28, 1999, the Company had unfilled customer orders of $13.4
million compared to $11.2 million of unfilled customer orders at February
28,1998, with such orders generally scheduled for delivery by July, 1999 and
July 1998, respectively. The increase in backlog is primarily attributable to
the increase in sales of private label sleepwear. These amounts include both
confirmed orders and unconfirmed orders which the Company believes, based on
industry practice and past experience, will be confirmed. While cancellations,
rejections and returns have generally not been material in the past, there can
be no assurance that cancellations, rejections and returns will not reduce the
amount of sales realized from the backlog of orders at February 28,1999.

IMPACT OF EXCHANGE RATES

       While the Company purchases over 90% of its products from foreign
manufacturers, all of its purchases are denominated in United States dollars.
Because the Company's products are sold primarily in the United States, in
dollar denominated transactions, the Company does not engage in hedging or other
arbitrage to reduce currency risk. An increase in the value of the dollar versus
foreign currencies could enhance the Company's purchasing power for new purchase
orders and reduce its cost of goods sold. Conversely, a decrease in the value of
the dollar relative to 


                                       9

<PAGE>   10

foreign currencies could result in an increase in the Company's cost of
manufacturing for new purchase orders and costs of goods sold.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND DEFLATION

       Management does not believe that inflation has had any material impact
upon the Company's revenues or income from operations to date. However,
continued deflation in women's clothing prices may put pressure on gross margins
for the balance of fiscal year 1999. The strong resistance on the part of the
consumer to increases in price and the increasing fabric and labor costs lead to
an increased cost of goods on a percentage basis.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

       The worldwide issue which has arisen regarding the arrival of the year
2000 is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather
than four digits to define the applicable year. Many computer programs that have
time sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather
than the year 2000. Furthermore, they may not recognize the year 2000 as a leap
year. If the Company did not ensure that these were corrected in its systems,
this could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations including a temporary inability to process transactions, send
invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.

       The Company also faces risk from the Year 2000 issues affecting its
suppliers, customers and service providers. This risk can stem from the general
issue of those entities' ability to conduct their business, as well as the
specific issue of communication and integration issued between the Company's
computer systems and those entities' systems. Manufacturers of clothing may be
experiencing power interruptions or the failure of computerized machinery or
machinery with embedded logic as a result of the Year 2000 issue. Management
believes that the risk associated with such problems can be remediated by moving
production to alternate suppliers who are not adversely affected, but there can
be no assurance of their availability or that the change will not result in an
interruption in service or an increase in cost resulting in reduced
profitability. The Company receives electronic purchase orders from certain
large customers. In the event that the system for delivering electronic purchase
orders failed, the customers would have to return to paper purchase orders and
the Company may experience some interruption in the placement of orders for
merchandise.

       The Company has completed the remediation of its year 2000 exposure as it
pertains to internal systems, and continues to assess key customer and supplier
compliance. The internal systems include all traditional data processing
computer systems and all control, communication, and reporting equipment such as
security, telephones, and timeclocks. Because the Company has purchased all of
its critical systems (hardware and software) from third parties, it did not
incur any material costs as the updates were provided under maintenance
contracts.

       The Company has initiated communications with all of its key customers
and suppliers to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable based
upon those third parties' failure to remediate their own year 2000 issues. The
Company is currently scheduling testing with those third parties (exchanges of
critical information such as orders, purchases, invoices, fund transfers, et
al.) and plans to complete these by June 30, 1999. Part of this process will be
to provide mutual contingency plans; however, at this time, there can be no
assurance that the systems of other companies on which the Company relies will
be converted on a timely basis and would not have material adverse effect on the
Company.
